Technology Social Media Online Marketing Events Brand Integration Entertainment Capital Connections: VentureNet 2008 Costa Mesa September 12, 2008

VentureNet.org was a great event I had the opportunity to attend Friday, September 12, 2008 in Costa Mesa, California. The picture in this blog post has Mike Coffin, Founder of www.lowermybills.com interviewing Jason Calcanis, Founder of www.mahalo.com during the final days session of the day. 10 very well done presentations were given to a panel of Venture Capital Funds by a group of emerging companies. The winner of the day long technology investment and networking event was www.magnify360.com. The Technology Council Of Southern California does an exceptional job of partnering with a number of organizations that have significant databases of investorrs, Venture Capital companies, executives, consultants, and incredible new presenting companies.
